The grapes for Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon come from a select block of Uxmal vineyard, Catena's premier Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. At more than 940 m (3,100'), the Uxmal vineyard enjoys a continental climate of sunny days and cool nights, allowing for prolonged hang-time and crisp acidity in the grapes. The Catena Alta block has historically provided the most balanced and uniform yields. The carefully chosen vines undergo a detailed thinning process to leave only select, isolated clusters on the vines to ripen fully.
The grapes are destemmed before undergoing fermentation and a long and thorough maceration. The new wine is then aged for a total of 18 months in 100% new Taransaud French oak. The result is an extremely concentrated Cabernet, with integrated tannins that will allow the wine to age well into the new Millennium.
